There was Robbie Jones
He used to walk so tall 
You know he'd hurt no one at all 
Chased the girls around the world 
Danced them round the dance halls 
We'd have a drink and then he'd sink 
Into nostalgic talk 
We carried him home in the fallen snow 
When he was too drunk to walk 
Then came the day 
We were sent away 
We got our papers 
Posted trough the door 
And sent off to war 
Dear old Tom 
He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar 
He'd tell you all the stories 
Of his travels near and far 
Signed up one day to learn a trade
But that dream didn't go far 
He'd be fighting Argentinians 
With his gun not his guitar 
He used to walk so tall 
You know he'd hurt no one at all 
Chased the girls around the world 
Danced them round the dance halls 
We'd have a drink and then he'd sink 
Into nostalgic talk 
We carried him home in the fallen snow 
When he was too drunk to walk 

Then came the day 
We were sent away 
We got our papers 
Posted trough the door 
And sent off to war 

Dear old Tom 
He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar 
He'd tell you all the stories 
Of his travels near and far 
Signed up one day to learn a trade 
But that dream didn't go far 
He'd be fighting Argentinians 
With his gun not his guitar
